Benji and Robbie Falling Out Rumour in telegraph

[tom620]

I know this has been brought up before and it might be a re-hash, but this is/was in the telegraph:

"Tigers at odds

TALK of another fallout between Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah and five-eighth Benji Marshall has cranked up again in the wake of the side's poor form.

We're told the players see Farah as a political animal who will side with the decisions of the coaching staff and management, while Benji is one of the boys.

Let's hope it is just creative tension, like the relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Like the Bulldogs, the Tigers have fed us a lot of scorching hot air in the last few weeks.

Coach Tim Sheens detonated after last Friday night's loss to Parramatta when The Australian's Brent Read suggested what everyone else was thinking: that his side was being torn apart by the impending signature of Storm forward Adam Blair.

Not an issue, Sheens reckoned. "Bullshit," he snorted.

Strange, then, that Sheens had squared up his players after the loss and told them to man-up and stop whingeing if they were angry about players being moved on.

The players also moved to address it in a separate meeting. Maybe not torn apart. But clearly it's an issue. Why else would they feel a need to address it?"

i also posted this because someone asked in another topic about the reporter who fired up Sheens last week. Was from the Australian:

"Coach Tim Sheens detonated after last Friday night's loss to Parramatta when The Australian's Brent Read suggested what everyone else was thinking: that his side was being torn apart by the impending signature of Storm forward Adam Blair."

I'm sick of hearing this crap! Think about it guys do you get on with everyone at work? I know I don't but we all work together and get the job done. Some people like to [This word has been automatically removed] sometimes there are a few heated discussions but that's life no one will always agree 100% of the time. I know this is a Rugby League team and is a lot different than your normal workplace, but in the end hopefully we can start getting the job done.

You wouldn't know it from the way I am on here but sometimes I actually disagree with people at work and sometimes they disagree with me.

Just like on here though I am always right.

So who wants to guess at the so called 'journalist's' source for this:
- this forum
- illegal wire tap
- their own fevered imagination
- their boss wanting to keep on the anti Tigers/ Robbie/ Benji bandwagon

Even if there is some small amount of truth in it both guys and the team are professional enough to deal with it and move on. But this sort of rubbish sells papers.
I think we should have a state controlled media like china does! :unamused:

don't recall seeing any of that in the forum, either the tele is making it up or they are being told porkies or someone at the club is letting this info out

Without wanting to sound insulting, it is not unsual for star players to have big egos. They are at the top of their game and sometimes its the ego that drives this and gets an individual to that position. The same occurs in the workplace where people who reach top positions appear to have a big ego and again it is one of the factors that drives them to get there. It is not unusual for people in these positions to clash and some call it a clash of egos. If they are professional and can work it out then they usually work together for the good of the common goal. If not one or both move on. If Robbie and Benji are clashing then they are probably a football example of the ego situation I have described. I must say though, in public I have only heard them supporting each other, they both have big egos but there is no public clash from my observations so maybe this is a telegraph beat up and the boys have learned how to accommodate each other. As for the comment that Robbie is aligned to the coach and management, well he is the captain that would be part of his role.

This has been a problem between the two of them for years, why do you think farah wanted the captaincy when he resigned? So it wasn't benji's tigers it would be farahs tigers, but that was a while ago and heard they grew a pair and made up… But now it sounds benji is the childish problem if this one is true

Of course we should all believe everything we read in the papers!! Maybe Rupert Murdoch has been hacking into their phones??? :blah

 

[crouching_tiger]

Bagz and Faffy have put their past differences aside. At the moment, it is Benji who has been trying to hold the team together through all this turmoil.
Full credit to Marshall, who is taking the world on his shoulders. You are the man!!
:master:

 

[tigergirlz]

Yawn…there is absolutely no "facts or proof" to back up those statments. Wouldn't have got the info from this forum, that topic was done and dusted ages ago.

 

[Snake]

I don't know why any one here even bothers with posting or reading this CRAP! Let it go its all rubbish journalism .IMO this is a deliberate plot to continually destabilise the player group and club by certain morons in the media these are throw away articles to fill up space don't even comment thats what they want!

 

[glebe_tiger]

this cr@p from the papers has all come from forums like this, with no one stating names of the sources and reasons for the leaks.

the amount of topics on rumours is a joke, the mods should just have one separate section and call it the rumour mill.

 

[Eddie]

I don't see it as a huge problem. They got on ok, just not great mates off the field. I'm not surprised they have had a few blow ups over the years given the sides inconsistency and their standing in the game.

I happen to agree with the article a little just based on their characters. Robbie basically told the club to improve thier recruitment and step up their ambition or he was off to the Titans. Wouldn't surprise me if he had some say on the direction they are going. Marshall does strike me more as one of the boys.

Totally agree :dead

My best friend and I play soccer, touch we played in a band together and we always argue,but we won alot more than we lost.Alot of these guys have been together for a long time .so like any good relationship you need to be able to let out steam on each other.IF you can't argue when things aren't good then you just accept defeat.things can not be resolved by agreeing.Let's smash Cowboys…
